Description
Peter Moro and Partners explores the work of Peter Moro, a German émigré who played a significant role in shaping modern British architecture. With his team, he designed many iconic buildings, including the Royal Festival Hall, Nottingham Playhouse, and Plymouth Theatre Royal, as well as numerous one-off houses, exhibitions, and public buildings. This book sheds new light on Moro's approach to architecture, which emphasized both functional soundness and aesthetic richness. Through detailed archival research and stunning photography, it reveals the full range of his work from the 1930s to the 1980s. A comprehensive study of Moro's contributions to modern British architecture, this book enriches our understanding of the experience and diversity of modernism in Britain.
